b. 440

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Cautionary sharps before d1 and d2 in EE must be arbitrary additions as they cannot be found in any other sources. Compare b. 445.

b. 443

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In the copyist's notation of this chord in GC there is no ledger line for a2 (compare identical errors in bars 91 and 100). The line penciled in here was most probably added by the egraver or editor.

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Before the highest note of the chord in GC and FE there's no   lowering c3 to c3, which obviously is an omission.

Slur in EE

Slurs in GC, literal reading

Contextual interpretation of GC (→GE), and FE
..

In GC the slur extends as far as b. 445, which in this context must be considered inaccurate the same as in GE. This too long and imprecise slur may have occured already in [A1] as EE has a slur that results most probably from misinterpreting the composer's intention. In the main text we present slurring of FE and GE.
